I tore my ACL skiing on New Years Day in 2016. Quite a way to start the year! I was lucky enough to meet with Dr. Nawabi, get x-rays and MRIs, and have surgery all within a month. He was absolutely wonderful - he really helped me prep for and get through an incredibly painful time, replete with even recommending the perfect physical therapist for me. Dr. Nawabi was incredibly sensitive to how active I am and how debilitated I felt - before, during, and after surgery. He explained everything to me in user-friendly terms, was endlessly patient, and I always knew I was in safe hands. I always looked forward to our appointments (and had nothing but lovely experiences with his staff!), and took all of his guidance in the months post-surgery very seriously. He knows exactly what he's doing - 3 months post-op, I was able to complete a 40-mile bike ride... and on New Years Day 2017, I was back on the slopes in Lake Tahoe. Recovery took a lot of grit and dedication - but being back in the mountains exactly one year later made it all worth it!!
